Imagery
Quotes using imagery.
  • in the dusk fling myself down the street
  • fierce light
  • The oil hills, scrubby with ugly bushes, prickled with derricks, bunch up on one side, then unfurl into the familiar, sandy, flattened flood plain.

  • bring the hot scent of livestock, dirt, and human sweet
  • her large dark eyes
  • frantically scrambling on her hind legs
  • tinged with sage and damp dirt
  • brilliant starlight
  • crashing her spectacularly in a wild somersault
  • fine, fiery
  • under a fog light, an alien creature
  • fade away into the night
  • my step lighter
